When placed on the ground and lit on [[:Category:Fire Starter|fire]], Gunpowder will explode after 3–6 seconds, destroying objects and dealing massive damage in a small radius (less than one [[Wall]] unit, or 1/4th of a [[Turf]] unit.). It deals 200 damage per charge and can be exploded in stacks, which is more than enough to instantly kill an unarmored character at full health (with the exception of [[Wolfgang]], an upgraded [[WX-78]], or [[Wigfrid]]). This damage is not affected by a Character's damage multipliers.
